Need Internet Connection Sharing expert advise.

[Zeppo]

I had this set-up working perfectly before using a cable modem, and a linux machine as my router.
I have moved and now I am forced to use DSL for my internet connection.
The DSL provider does not support Linux, so I am forced to use Windows for my router.
I have installed Win2k Advanced Server and ICS.
I have my other three computers able to surf the web, check email, and work with newsgroups, so I know everything is working fine.

Here is my problem:

There are some websites that do not get forwarded through the server when I use ICS.
If I dial up, or use a different proxy server software such as Sygate, they work fine.
It is always the same few sites.
ICS just will not let me view them.
Two of the sites are online comics I read: pvponline.com and in2itonline.com
Others are gaming sites, and such.
I can't even ping them.

Is there any settings anywhere to tell ICS to forward everything?
Or any such settings anywhere thaty I can change?
I am stumped.

Thanks,
Z.

My expert opinion 🙂 is that your problem is this: ICS is a POS. Maybe try out something like WinRoute if you insist on a software solution. Hardware connection sharing devices are ridiculously cheap these days, and you could probably solve your problem for $50 to $75. Plus, you don't have to keep your "router" PC running 24x7 if you need to use one of your other machines.
